The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us.

“Man by himself could not have written such a consistent, non-contradictory book,” says Ham. But how does he know man wrote it with divine inspiration? “Because of what the Bible itself claims of itself,” he says.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again. Ken Ham is a disgrace to human endeavor.

The solar astrophysics PhD ought to be ashamed of himself for saying: You can't attempt to disprove the Bible scientifically using an outside source. Science comes from within the Bible. We take the truth of the Bible as a PRESUPPOSITION.

Presuppositionalism is utterly absurd.

"Physical reality” isn’t some arbitrary demarcation. It is defined in terms of what we can systematically investigate, directly or not, by means of our senses. It is preposterous to assert that the process of systematic scientific reasoning arbitrarily excludes “non-physical explanations” because the very notion of “non-physical explanation” is contradictory.

Ham often asks of evolutionists: “How do you gain knowledge about the past when you weren’t there?”

I suppose Mr. Ham wants full color motion video and 5 direct witnesses from the scene of every murder to make a conviction. Perhaps we should have every person that dies shout out what they died of at the moment of death with witnesses present and recordings in order to determine the cause of death.

We gain knowledge from the past that we weren't in by way of the imprints left by the actions at the time, be they physical, chemical, etc. We don't have to be there to have a damn good idea of what happened.
